Small Piece of News

Central Plains, Langya City.

Streaks of Flowing Light from all directions streaked across the sky, heading undisguisedly towards their central destination. The invisible pressure emanating from these streaks of Flowing Light drew gasps from the crowd below, followed by a heated discussion.

Has anything major happened at the Langya Pavilion recently?

"It can't be revenge, can it?"

Someone curiously asked those around them for advice, and then jokingly added, though judging from their expression, it was clearly just a casual remark and not taken seriously. However, their doubt was genuine.

As the first city under the rule of the Langya Pavilion, Super faction in Central Plains, Langya City naturally has no shortage of powerful people passing by on ordinary days. Especially now, in this era of continental revival and the emergence of powerful people, even the once elusive Dou Zun and Dou Sheng Expert often appear.

However, Langya City has its own rules. As the face of the Langya Pavilion, no one may pass over Langya City without permission. Many powerful figures are willing to give Langya Pavilion face and always obediently conceal their auras before passing through the city, or simply go around the city.

Even if we disregard the monk's feelings, we should still respect the Buddha's. Who would be so reckless as to do such a high-profile thing in public? Such a display does indeed seem to have the air of seeking revenge.

"Seeking revenge? Are you kidding me?"

Obviously, the others didn't take it seriously either, and just scoffed.

After all, what kind of place is Langya Pavilion? And who would dare to seek revenge against the Langya Pavilion?

Since the end of the great war with the Soul Clan, the deeds of Xiao Han Langya Pavilion Master, have been widely spread throughout the Fierce Qi Continent. Apart from his own top strength on the continent and the power of the Langya Pavilion, which is not only ranked alongside the Heavenly Mansion Alliance as one of the two Super faction in Central Plains, half of the four Dou Di powerhouses currently announced to the Fierce Qi Continent are from the Xiao Clan, the ancestral home of Lord Pavilion Master Xiao.

The Langya Pavilion has no shortage of powerful figures and influence. Seeking revenge? The Soul Clan of yesteryear has been reduced to nothing but bones!

At this moment, a well-informed "unrelated person" chuckled softly.

"What do you know?"

"Oh?"

The words had an immediate effect, instantly capturing everyone's curiosity.

"Does this gentleman perhaps have some secret information that he's keeping hidden?"

"Of course."

The speaker laughed arrogantly, then his expression changed, and his tone became light and cheerful.

"But why should I say it?"

Seeing this, the others understood. A well-dressed, frivolous young man, who looked like a "rich young master" in the crowd, tossed a Jade Bottle at the former and said irritably:

"What are you pretending to be, some kind of reclusive sage? You just want something in return!"

"Would one Sixth-Grade Pill be enough?"

"If that's not enough..."

The "rich young master" stared at the other person with a sinister look, a malicious smile on his face.

"Although fighting in the streets is forbidden in Langya City, I still have the ability to drag you to another place and beat you up."

"Ah, young master, you flatter me."

"This amount of pills is more than enough!"

Hearing the warning, the man wisely accepted the pills, after all, he was only a minor Dou Emperor and couldn't afford to offend this young master who clearly came from a wealthy family. He explained to the crowd:

"As you may not know, I have a good friend who is a disciple of the Langya Pavilion. According to him, things are not peaceful right now."

As he spoke, the man shook his head with an air of seriousness.

"Not peaceful? How is it not peaceful? Could it be that the Soul Clan has risen from the ashes again?"

A middle-aged passerby asked curiously.

Anyone who has spent a considerable amount of time in Central Plains is well aware of the "glorious history" of the Soul Clan and its subordinate Soul Hall.

It's no exaggeration to say that more than a third of the heinous crimes committed in Central Plains and even the entire mainland are attributed to them.

Therefore, upon hearing that the mainland was in turmoil, they immediately turned their suspicious gazes toward the remnants of the Soul Clan.

"No, that's not it."

The whistleblower immediately denied it, then cautiously looked around and glanced at the crowd.

"Let me say this first."

He pointed to himself, then gestured to the others.

"These words came from my mouth and entered your ears today. I hope no one else will know them, otherwise, the Langya Pavilion will investigate..."

Towards the end, his tone gradually turned unfriendly.

A sense of dread filled the air, and everyone couldn't wait to say:

"That's natural."

"It is only right and proper."

"That's good."

Nodding in satisfaction, the whistleblower whispered:

"I heard from my brother that recently, monsters have been appearing one after another across the continent."

Monster?

Before anyone else could ask a question, the former continued:

"It is said that those monsters have all sorts of strange appearances, some with blue faces and fangs, and others that look very similar to us Human Race."

"But..."

As the emphasis fell, everyone realized that the crucial moment had arrived.

"Those things are called monsters because they all feed on the creatures of the Fierce Qi Continent without exception."

"Whether it's Magical Beast or Human Race, they are all their prey, just like those who cultivate Evil cultivation technique."

"What?! They feed on living beings?" someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

"How could such an evil race exist in this world? And there was never any prior rumor about it?!"

"Oh!"

Everyone was taken aback and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the person who made the whistleblower snort coldly.

"You think they're a race from the Fierce Qi Continent?"

"Could it be not?"

"Of course not."

The other party's tone was low.

"It is said that the power used by those monsters is not Dou Qi at all, but another Evil power that can corrupt Dou Qi, making them very troublesome to deal with."

The higher-ups of the Langya Pavilion suspected that they were not beings from the Fierce Qi Continent at all, but rather Extraterrestrial Demon.

Extraterrestrial Demon?!

The crowd was shocked and stirred up by the news.

"I suspect that the reason so many powerful figures are heading to the Langya Pavilion today is precisely for this reason."

"The days ahead are probably going to be tough."

Leaving behind a sigh, the man quietly slipped away while the crowd was still reeling from the shock. The "passersby," including the "rich young master," also silently departed.

Once the crowd dispersed, this "rumor" spread throughout the Central Plains, and similar scenes played out in various parts of Langya City.

At this moment, a group of powerful figures in the Langya Pavilion watched this scene unfold.

"You guys certainly have some tricks up your sleeves."

Xiao Xuan looked at Yi Huang, who had a smile on her face, with slight surprise.

"Our ancestor is joking; it's just a little trick."

"You flatter me, Pavilion Master. This is no small trick. If we were to do it, it would be difficult for others to believe us."

Gu Yuan, who was also present, chimed in, expressing his appreciation.

Unlike the Original work where Xiao Yan, as the Flame Emperor, Saving the world merit, the powerful figures of the Central Plains had a fanatical trust in and followed him.

Xiao Yan is merely the first Dou Di to appear in public in ten thousand years. Although his ability to draw upon Origin Qi has benefited the continent, it ultimately lacks the visual impact of a world-saving act.

Ancient Races and Super faction like Langya Pavilion and Heavenly Mansion are only respected because of their strength and decent reputation.

To ordinary people, the past alliance to destroy the soul was nothing more than a revenge and a double-cross in the struggle for the Ancient Emperor Inheritance.

If several Super faction were to announce to the world that Extraterrestrial Evil race was about to arrive and that they hoped to unify all the continent's military forces, it would likely be immediately interpreted as an attempt to expand and annex, thus provoking widespread resistance.

Only in this subtle and pervasive way can Sense of urgency be created on the mainland, reducing the difficulty of Alliance establishment.

"Next, the figures of Extraterrestrial Demon will appear in some Remote mountain range of Central Plains. They will be encountered by Central Plains's powerful figures, and then the powerful figures of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance will arrive in time to kill them."

"Won't those things cause a big problem?" Xiao Xuan asked casually.

"Please rest assured, ancestors."

Yi Huang's voice was full of confidence, as if she had everything under control.

"They are just a few Eighth-order magical beast from the Ancient Desolate Domain that have fused with the Evil race flesh and blood. They are not particularly troublesome."

"Where's Xiao Yan?" At this moment, the space beside them suddenly distorted, revealing a dark void. Zhu Kun's figure stepped out, looked around, and said.

"Our [Flame Emperor] is burdened with a heavy responsibility, so he will probably be absent from this conference."

Xiao Xuan was not surprised by Zhu Kun's appearance and answered calmly.

A short while later, footsteps sounded outside the door. Ye Jianxin pushed open the door and bowed to Xiao Xuan and the others.

"Esteemed seniors, we may begin."
